Bags would be cool...

Just a quick statement or too.

I love straight line racing, dont get me wrong.
But the funnest thing I can do in my car is run through a cloverleaf at night, just ***** out, right on the edge of what my car can do, just ******* fly through it. Im gonna have to time myself and see how long it takes me to do the full thing.

you'll love the airbags then, Air-Ride technology had a few camaro's with springs then with airbags, and the one's with the airbags were doing quicker times. they let a bunch of different editors try with and without and they all liked the air-ride technology. so that gives you an idea...

Nah, I can bet money that an air bag setup won't give you the performance of a custom valved, coil over setup.

As for your statement of how often is the car driven ***** out?

It's not a dialy driver, or even a weekly driver at that. I drive the car a few times a month, and when it's driven, it gets a beating.

I'll scrape all day long. All it grabs is the subframe connectors/v braces.

Oh, and I'll have a Billingsley FAB 9" in my car by spring time. And you can bet your ***, that if that has to drag, it will.

I have Eibach Sportlines and the drop was perfect IMO.

Sounds like you really treat your car bad, man. You got a nice car, wouldn't you want to treat it with respect and not scrape everything and ruin it?

Nah, nothing a little welding and $$$ can't fix.

Gotta pay to play, and look good while doing it

I think airbags can give just about the same performance as a coil over. If you dont mind scraping everywhere then just get some sportlines. If you want a little adjustability get some coil-overs or som HALS. If you wanna constantly be able to change ur ride height and prevent dragging or scraping go with bags

Im going to get some ground controls and then ever now and then maybe 3 times a year change the height, and NO AIR BAGS. I dont drive a Gangsta ride and hate how airbags look.

Understandable, but air bags don't create the gangsta ride. Dropping the vehicle to the ground does; while normally that's what people get the bags for, having air bags doesn't always mean slammed.

I've thought about bags for security,Get home and you have nice wheels slam her over night,wake up still have nice wheels. I'd rather degenerates get whats inside that I could maybe replace than set me back 3 grand. You get me?
